I Do - Take Two
I know, even the title implies I'm a little untraditional. When I married my husband Wes seven years ago, we were untraditional then as well. I was 19. My husband 21. We had been dating only two months when we got engaged, and married only five months later. There was no particular rush, we were just in a hurry and ready to spend the rest of our lives together. We were young and immature. During this time I chose to exclude several members of our families.. including my dad.. from the ceremony. My dad was there, but he did not walk me down the aisle. Not that I regret the fact that my grandpa did, he will always be a very important part of my life and I cherish those moments. At the time, it felt like the reasonable thing to do as we weren't getting along. But now that I have a child of my own, and my dad and I have grown closer as I grew up a little more. I regret the fact that he didn't walk me now, because as a parent I couldn't imagine being excluded from something like that. Wes & I always said we'd renew our vows one day. 10-year, 15-year milestone. We wanted to make it special, something new. And one thing I said I would redo is I'd have my dad walk me down this time.
